00:00:00I want to be Zach Gowen.
00:00:23You look death in the eye and you spit right in her face.
00:00:28I admire that.
00:00:28So, I'll ask you for one thing tonight, will you accept my apology for everything I've
00:00:38done?
00:00:39I want to start all over again here, Zach.
00:00:41I want to wipe the slate clean, so to speak.
00:00:44I want to start all over.
00:00:46Will you accept my apology?
00:00:49No.
00:00:51Get a hold of yourself.
00:00:57Don't be intimidated by it.
00:00:58Intimidated?
00:00:59You think you intimidate me?
00:01:01Look me in the eye, you son of a...
00:01:04I've seen intimidation and you're not it.
00:01:08Vince, I've been through things in my life that would make you cry.
00:01:12And you want to make a joke out of me?
00:01:14I'm sick of it.
00:01:15Enough is enough and it's not gonna happen anymore.
00:01:18I spit on your apology.
00:01:24Here's what you can't offer me though, Vince.
00:01:26A WWE Smackdown wrestling contract.
00:01:31You can earn your contract by being...
00:01:33Well, you can join a very special club here in the garden.
00:01:37The Vince McMahon Kiss My Ass Club.
00:01:40Pucker up.
00:01:41Kiss my ass.
00:01:42You've got your contract.
00:01:44Stephanie, tell him to kiss my ass.
00:01:46He gets his contract.
00:01:47You want this contract more than life itself.
00:01:50I don't have a whole night.
00:01:52Come on.
00:01:53Kiss it.
00:01:54Oh!
00:01:55Oh, man.
00:01:56A low blow.
00:01:58Do you want to make a joke out of me?
00:02:00Enough is enough and it's not gonna happen anymore.
00:02:03Big Show smells the plug.
00:02:06You can see his face.
00:02:08The Big Show.
00:02:09Oh, look at this.
00:02:10This America is in trouble here.
00:02:11Show slam.
00:02:12The cover.
00:02:13Hook of the leg.
00:02:14Big Show Benjamin and Haas with the six man.
00:02:19Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:02:20And Mr. America, not exactly finished here with old Zack.
00:02:25He wants to be a wrestler in the WWE.
00:02:29And it looks like Zack here can't quite...
00:02:33Look.
00:02:34Looks like he can't.
00:02:36Zack, go.
00:02:37Leave him alone.
00:02:38Zack, please.
00:02:39Just leave him alone.
00:02:40Zack, you got yourself an opportunity for a contract.
00:02:43Zack, because I'm putting you in a match.
00:02:46You've got yourself a partner.
00:02:48And that partner is Stephanie McMahon.
00:02:53If you win the match, you win a contract, Zack.
00:02:56It's you and Stephanie in a tag team effort
00:02:59in a handicap match against the Big Show.
00:03:05You've got to be kidding me.
00:03:06Oh, my God.
00:03:07Good evening.
00:03:08My name is Vincent Kennedy McMahon.
00:03:10And tonight, finally, once and for all, I will personally seal the fate of Mr. America.
00:03:27And tonight, I present to you a special two-on-one match-up in which my daughter Stephanie McMahon teams up with the one-legged Zack Gowen.
00:03:42And collectively, they will face the mighty Big Show and what will truly be the first ever handicap match.
00:04:07We are kicking things off with the Cruiserweight Championship on the line.
00:04:24Welcome to SmackDown, everybody.
00:04:26From the Blue Cross Blue Shield Arena in Rochester, New York,
00:04:29Michael Cole and Taz at ringside.
00:04:33Following contest is schedule four.
00:04:36One fall out of each for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship.
00:04:42In the ring from San Diego, California, weighing in at 175 pounds is the Cruiserweight Champion, Ray Mysterio.
00:04:54Ray Mysterio said to defend the title.
00:04:56But again, Billy Kidman, a spectator tonight.
00:04:59Out injured since February of last week to have some puzzling statements from Kidman.
00:05:04Almost beat her since his injury in February.
00:05:08Kidman said it was hard to stay out of the ring and stay home for so long.
00:05:11Hey, I agree with Billy Kidman.
00:05:13I've been out of injuries and it's tough sitting home watching them advance.
00:05:17You get frustrated.
00:05:19And the challenger brings a company to the ring by FBI members Chuck Palumbo and Johnny Stamboli.
00:05:26Weighing in at 200 pounds, Nuccio.
00:05:30Well, Mysterio's supposed to be defending the Cruiserweight Championship against Nuccio,
00:05:34but the odds seem to be stacked against the Cruiserweight Champion.
00:05:37Don't like this three-on-one situation here.
00:05:39Hey, you got Palumbo out there.
00:05:40You got Stamboli out there.
00:05:41The odds are in Nuccio's favor, no doubt about it.
00:05:44Hey, Michael Cole, he's Taz.
00:05:46He's back down again, everybody.
00:05:48Where tonight it's gonna be.
00:05:49And look at Mike Chioda, the referee.
00:05:52And apparently, I think Chioda's sending Stamboli and Palumbo back to the locker room.
00:05:59So Mike Chioda's doing his job.
00:06:00That's a good thing.
00:06:01Good for Mike Chioda.
00:06:02There you go.
00:06:03So we're gonna have a one-on-one Cruiserweight Championship match between Rey Mysterio and Nuccio
00:06:10on a night where the one-legged aspiring wrestler Zach Gowen will team with Stephanie McMahon
00:06:16as he battles for his contract to take on the Big Show.
00:06:19And what about the blockbuster news moments ago?
00:06:21Whoa!
00:06:22Nice takedown by Nuccio on Mysterio.
00:06:24The blockbuster news that Mr. McMahon has apparently sealed the fate of Mr. America here tonight.
00:06:30I don't know, I gotta put some thought into that, but Mr. McMahon seems extremely serious.
00:06:34This could be bad for Mr. America.
00:06:36Nuccio with a knee to the midsection, nice snapmare, but Mysterio landed on his feet.
00:06:41Leapfrogged by Nuccio.
00:06:42And Mysterio with a shoulder knockdown of one member of the FBI, Nuccio.
00:06:46Both these athletes very similar in size and speed.
00:06:49Different styles.
00:06:50Look at this.
00:06:51Look at this.
00:06:52Shoulders down for Nuccio.
00:06:53Nuccio kicks out.
00:06:54Nuccio more of a ground submission type guy.
00:06:57Even though he's a street guy, he can get it done on a mat.
00:07:00And Rey Mysterio, one of the greatest high-fliers in the game.
00:07:02Tell you, Mysterio the Cruiserweight Champion, but challenges coming from all the world.
00:07:05All sides.
00:07:06Not only Nuccio tonight, you saw Kidman in the crowd.
00:07:09The Ultimo Dragon debuting last week here on SmackDown.
00:07:13Nuccio's trying to regroup.
00:07:15Get back in the game here, but he don't realize what's going on.
00:07:18Watch out for Mysterio!
00:07:19Oh, wow!
00:07:20Up over the top rope, Mysterio taking Nuccio out.
00:07:24Big time flying, rolling sent down right there over the top rope.
00:07:28Rey Mysterio like a cat.
00:07:30Also here tonight, the US title tournament continues.
00:07:32Billy Gunn and John Cena go one-on-one.
00:07:34Plus the tag team titles on the line tonight.
00:07:37Take this out again.
00:07:38Go watch the hype Mysterio gets.
00:07:40Big time impressive athletic maneuver by Rey Mysterio.
00:07:44But Mysterio taking some time getting to the top rope and Nuccio looking to take advantage.
00:07:48Nuccio might be going for a superplex here.
00:07:50Maybe trying to trap the head and arm, but...
00:07:52Wow.
00:07:53Mysterio up to the top rope.
00:07:56Nuccio to his feet.
00:07:57He's at home up there.
00:07:58Oh, look at Nuccio.
00:07:59Great counter, counter.
00:08:00Shoulders down, titles on the line.
00:08:01He's got it.
00:08:02And Mysterio just kicked out.
00:08:04Nuccio a half second away from becoming Cruiserweight Champion.
00:08:07It's very smart for Nuccio to try and stack his opponent, stack Mysterio's shoulders on the mat
00:08:13to try and become the new Cruiserweight Champion.
00:08:16Mentioned this the first of two title matches here tonight.
00:08:18Tag team titles on the line.
00:08:19Later on, Eddie Guerrero and Tajiri against Shelton, Benjamin, and Charlie Haas.
00:08:23That's gonna be here tonight.
00:08:24It's gonna be a great tag team matchup for the titles.
00:08:26And Mysterio fits first.
00:08:28Wow.
00:08:29Nuccio again hooks the leg.
00:08:31Shoulders down.
00:08:32And Mysterio kicks out once again.
00:08:34Of course, you're always giving Nuccio a hard time that he's always doing the numbers game.
00:08:38The numbers game.
00:08:39Well, where's the numbers now?
00:08:40I mean, Palombo Stromboli sent to the back by Chioda.
00:08:43Nuccio's doing a good job out here by himself.
00:08:45Nuccio holding his own against the Cruiserweight Champion.
00:08:47Tremendous opportunity for Nuccio.
00:08:49You know, this would be great.
00:08:50You got an Italian guy, a Mexican guy.
00:08:52It'd be great.
00:08:53I wonder, imagine eating at these guys' houses, huh?
00:08:55Different recipes.
00:08:56You know what I'm talking about?
00:08:57Yeah.
00:08:58Mysterio lands on his seat.
00:08:59I don't think he could in JR's cookbook.
00:09:01I tried to.
00:09:02Nuccio lands on his...
00:09:03Look at this!
00:09:04Wow!
00:09:05Mysterio almost had him.
00:09:06And once again, Mysterio...
00:09:07Whoa!
00:09:08And Nuccio into the cover.
00:09:11Hooks the leg.
00:09:12And Mysterio just gets the shoulder out.
00:09:14Nuccio trying to capitalize here.
00:09:16Well, Nuccio's gotta keep the pressure on Rey Mysterio,
00:09:19and it's a perfect opportunity.
00:09:21Get your opponent in a submission maneuver.
00:09:23Nice rear naked choke, rear chin lock.
00:09:25Whatever you wanna call it, he's got it hooked in here.
00:09:28Cruiserweight Championship is on the line as we kick off SmackDown tonight.
00:09:33Mysterio and Nuccio.
00:09:34Stamboli and Palumbo have been sent back to the locker room by referee Mike Chioda
00:09:38to ensure this matchup is kept at one-on-one.
00:09:41Oh, a nice backbreaker by Nuccio.
00:09:43Working that middle of the back of Mysterio here.
00:09:46Hey, check it out, Cole.
00:09:506-1-9.
00:09:51Yeah, Mysterio's signature maneuver.
00:09:53He made heated here.
00:09:55Whoa!
00:09:56As Mysterio counters with the light scissors,
00:09:59but Nuccio quickly again on the attack of Mysterio.
00:10:02Champion across the ring.
00:10:04What?
00:10:05Mysterio great counter, both men down center of the ring.
00:10:07Could be the turning point of this championship matchup.
00:10:10Big time DDT right there by Rey Mysterio.
00:10:13Desperation move there.
00:10:15Two.
00:10:16Both men down.
00:10:17Mike Chioda counting.
00:10:18Three.
00:10:19Rey Mysterio the champion, Nunzio the challenger.
00:10:22First man to his feet, could have the upper hand in this matchup.
00:10:26Nunzio's to his feet first.
00:10:27Mysterio ducks the clothesline.
00:10:29Chopped to the midsection.
00:10:30Mysterio the right hands of the champion beginning to build momentum.
00:10:33What?
00:10:35First goes Nunzio.
00:10:36Mysterio's starting to feel it now, Taz.
00:10:38He's picking up the press.
00:10:39Rey Mysterio picking up the pace, and that's bad for Nunzio.
00:10:42Mysterio to the corner.
00:10:44Nunzio in trouble.
00:10:45Mysterio up over the top, lands on the apron.
00:10:48Look at this.
00:10:49Look at this.
00:10:50Wow!
00:10:51Top rope.
00:10:52Beautiful loop.
00:10:53Standing movesault.
00:10:54Here's the hook of the leg.
00:10:55Challenger's in trouble.
00:10:56Mysterio almost had him.
00:10:58What a matchup here by two tremendous cruiserweights.
00:11:02Mysterio almost had the three count.
00:11:04Nunzio able to kick out.
00:11:06Almost don't count.
00:11:07Only in horseshoes and hand grenades.
00:11:08Iris rip across the ring, but he was met by an Italian knee.
00:11:11Oh, an Italian elbow in the back of the head.
00:11:13And Nunzio into the cover.
00:11:15Hooks the leg again.
00:11:16Title is on the line.
00:11:17What?
00:11:18I don't know.
00:11:19Mysterio might not have been taking Nunzio too seriously.
00:11:22I don't think he realized Nunzio put on up this kind of fight for his championship.
00:11:26I believe that Mysterio is taking him seriously.
00:11:28He always does.
00:11:29But Nunzio is really turning it on here, Taz.
00:11:31No doubt.
00:11:32No doubt.
00:11:33And the champion's in trouble.
00:11:34Both men dumped over the top rope.
00:11:35And Nunzio landed hard, as did Mysterio.
00:11:38Yeah, but Nunzio landed harder.
00:11:40You can hear that thump right from here.
00:11:41Nunzio's out.
00:11:43Mysterio sending Nunzio back into the ring.
00:11:48Can Rey Mysterio, the champion, take advantage?
00:11:52Mysterio's out.
00:11:53Oh, look at this!
00:11:54It's Stambali!
00:11:55Oh, here we go.
00:11:56The FBI was sent back to the line.
00:11:57Oh!
00:11:58Put them back out here on the assault.
00:12:00And referee Mike Kiyona is dealing with Nunzio in the ring.
00:12:03Kiyona doesn't see what just happened.
00:12:05Stambali and Palumbo just mugged Rey Mysterio.
00:12:08Mugged is an understatement.
00:12:10And Nunzio's gonna try to steal the championship.
00:12:13Now's the time.
00:12:14Get him in the ring.
00:12:15Nunzio get a cover on Mysterio.
00:12:17Can Nunzio take advantage of this assault?
00:12:19Bring it a good cover.
00:12:20Nunzio's gonna steal the title and Mysterio just kicked out.
00:12:24Nunzio cannot believe it.
00:12:26Wait a minute!
00:12:29Oh, no!
00:12:30Simmons and Bradshaw, FBI have nowhere to go,
00:12:33stuck in no man's land.
00:12:35Oh, ho!
00:12:36Man, Stambali and Palumbo getting the top beat out of him by the APA!
00:12:40Well, Palumbo and Stambali should have stayed back in the locker room.
00:12:44Oh, it's getting even now.
00:12:45But Nunzio, Mysterio in trouble.
00:12:47Uh-oh!
00:12:48Oh, look out!
00:12:49Died it up!
00:12:50Oh!
00:12:51Bam!
00:12:526-1-9 connects!
00:12:54Mysterio!
00:12:58No!
00:12:59Dropping the dime!
00:13:00Here it is!
00:13:01Mysterio dropped the dime!
00:13:02Hooked the leg!
00:13:03It's over!
00:13:04Mysterio retains the title!
00:13:07Here's your winner, and still Cruiserweight Champion, Rey Mysterio!
00:13:14Look at Billy Kidman!
00:13:15That's great, Billy Kidman, man!
00:13:17He's happy for his ombre, for his butt, Rey Mysterio!
00:13:20That's professional, Billy Kidman!
00:13:22I guess Billy Kidman saw Mysterio give the big thumbs up to Ultimo Dragon last week in his debut, and Kidman doing the same for Mysterio, the Cruiserweight Champion tonight!
00:13:32Big win right there!
00:13:33Great win for Rey Mysterio!
00:13:35Well, ladies and gentlemen, Charlie and Shelton claim they're the best tag team in the WWE!
00:13:42Well, tonight, they can prove it!
00:13:44It's Eddie Tajiri versus Benjamin Haas!
00:13:47The tag team totals on the line tonight!
00:13:50Hey, champ!
00:13:51Hey, how are you doing?
00:13:52She was talking to me.
00:13:53She was talking to me.
00:13:54No, she wasn't.
00:13:55Yeah, she was.
00:13:56She was talking to the WWE Champion.
00:13:57Me.
00:13:58Really?
00:13:59I think she was talking about the Olympic Champion.
00:14:00No.
00:14:01Yeah.
00:14:02She was talking to me, the two-time WWE Champion.
00:14:03That's a good one.
00:14:04I think she was talking about Kurt Angle, the three-time WWE Champion.
00:14:09No.
00:14:10Oh, yeah.
00:14:11No.
00:14:12She was talking to me, the two-time WWE Champion.
00:14:16That's a good one.
00:14:18I think she was talking about Kurt Angle, the three-time WWE Champion.
00:14:23No.
00:14:24Oh, it's true.
00:14:25Oh, yes.
00:14:26Kurt, she was talking about the guy that beat you at WrestleMania.
00:14:32for the WWE title.
00:14:34That's what she's talking about.
00:14:35You know what, Brock?
00:14:37I beg to differ.
00:14:39I think she was talking about the man that's gonna beat you at vengeance for the WWE title.
00:14:46Oh, it's true.
00:14:47It's damn true.
00:14:48That's where you're wrong.
00:14:49Oh, really?
00:14:50Yeah.
00:14:51That's where you're way wrong.
00:14:52Okay.
00:14:53Yeah.
00:14:54Well, if that's the case, Kurt.
00:14:57You better keep drinking your milk.
00:15:06I will.
00:15:08Later.
00:15:09See ya.
00:15:14By the way, Missy, I'm the champ.
00:15:17All right.
00:15:18Oh, it's true.
00:15:24Good luck, champ.
00:15:30Oh, my God.
00:15:33Sorry.
00:15:35Brock.
00:15:37Well, right now, Brock's the champ.
00:15:39Kurt may well be in vengeance July 27th.
00:15:41Oh, that was hilarious.
00:15:43Well, here are the Fashion Brothers in Saniqua.
00:15:45Oh, what the hell?
00:15:48Wow.
00:15:49Oh, my God.
00:15:50That's a unique motivation.
00:15:52Of course, it reminds me of, you know, kind of what you told me happened when you were on the road last week.
00:15:57What is she doing?
00:15:58I don't know.
00:15:59I don't know.
00:16:00You know what we used to call those things in high school?
00:16:02Is that twisters?
00:16:04Oh, this is terrible.
00:16:06The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:16:11According to Raybrook, Detroit, Michigan, weighing in at 275 pounds, Rhino.
00:16:20Well, this is a return match from Velocity.
00:16:22Benoit and Rhino, a little bit of tension as of late.
00:16:24They used that to their advantage in Velocity this past week.
00:16:28The pick up a win over the Bastions.
00:16:30Big return match here tonight.
00:16:32And his partner from Edmonton, Alberta, weighing in at 229 pounds, Chris Benoit.
00:16:39Hey, Taz, check out Afterburn throughout the month of July for an unbelievable opportunity to win four tickets at an all expense paid trip to WrestleMania 20 in New York City.
00:16:47Hey, you know, WrestleMania's gonna be the single hottest ticket in the history of New York City.
00:16:51So check your local listings, and don't miss Afterburn starting this weekend.
00:16:56Well, the Basham's not missing anything here as they start off this matchup with a bang against Benoit and Rhino.
00:17:02Big return match from Velocity this past Saturday night.
00:17:04Doug and Danny Basham looking to make a statement here on SmackDown.
00:17:08And the Bash is putting it right to it. I think Shanika motivated them with that, uh...
00:17:12You think?
00:17:13The whipping about the buttocks area, I believe you think.
00:17:16Well, Chris Benoit, look out, toss to the second rope.
00:17:19And I believe that's Doug Basham going to work on Rhino.
00:17:23You know, Benoit and Rhino gonna be part of a big 4th of July weekend.
00:17:26The WWE Live in Frederick, Maryland on Saturday.
00:17:29Ocean City, Maryland on Sunday.
00:17:31And Cleveland, Ohio on Monday.
00:17:33And look at Rhino with those big shots to Doug Basham.
00:17:36Oh, the Man Beast will take it to you, and Doug Basham realizes that.
00:17:40Oh, wow!
00:17:42Well, Doug might be...
00:17:44He's probably used to getting hit hard anyway, especially looking at that.
00:17:46Shanika's whacking him all about the air.
00:17:48What is her deal?
00:17:49Whacking him.
00:17:50What's her deal?
00:17:51Whacking him.
00:17:52She's looking up.
00:17:53She's a sexy, uh, crazy S&M woman.
00:17:56I don't know any of that stuff, aren't they?
00:17:58Oh, I'm not into that.
00:17:59By the way, there is a guy at ringside with your name tattooed on his arm.
00:18:03And a big right hand from Basham to Rhino in this big tag team matchup
00:18:08on a night that Mr. McMahon claims he is going to seal the fate of Mr. America
00:18:12right here tonight on SmackDown.
00:18:14And still wondering what that's all about.
00:18:16It'll be something strong, I guarantee it.
00:18:18I can feel it.
00:18:19Oh, Doug missed with the clothesline.
00:18:21And Rhino, look out!
00:18:23Danny with an enziguri!
00:18:24Oh, right on the door!
00:18:26Yeah, Danny Basham got over that enziguri
00:18:28and that back elbow to the back of Rhino's head.
00:18:31And Danny gonna work on Rhino.
00:18:33Rhino better try and get his wits together here.
00:18:36Oh, he's gonna get caught with that bowling gag maneuver.
00:18:38Ball and gag?
00:18:39Yeah, Doug and Danny, they told me earlier they got this move that's called a...
00:18:42How do you know all this stuff about these guys?
00:18:44Doug and Danny told me the bowling gag.
00:18:46They do a move.
00:18:47Oh!
00:18:48They do a move for the bowling gag.
00:18:49Oh, wow.
00:18:50Look at this.
00:18:51Off the second row, Basham delivers the elbow to this...
00:18:53Beautiful.
00:18:54...shit over Rhino.
00:18:55Twisting elbow, hooks the leg!
00:18:56And Rhino just kicked out before the count of three.
00:18:59You know, I know you've had the opportunity to try to talk to these Bashams.
00:19:02They're a couple fries sure to a Happy Meal, aren't they?
00:19:04Yeah, well, Doug right here delivering some serious, intense cross faces to Rhino's head.
00:19:09Doug's a little bit more together.
00:19:11That's the guy in the ring.
00:19:12Danny's a little nuts.
00:19:13Look at this.
00:19:14Hook at the leg again!
00:19:15And Rhino gets his shoulder up.
00:19:17Shaniqua, I just don't...
00:19:18I'm just kind of scared of her, so I don't go near her.
00:19:20I know you're always trying to talk to Shaniqua, Paul.
00:19:22I know that.
00:19:23Trying to.
00:19:24Doesn't give me the time of day.
00:19:25Oh!
00:19:26And elbow to the back of the neck as Danny Basham comes in off the tag.
00:19:30Well, Rhino is...
00:19:31Rhino is, like, triple tough.
00:19:32It takes a lot to hurt him.
00:19:33Look at this.
00:19:34Cover again and again.
00:19:35A kick out by Rhino, who's gotta make a tag here to his partner Chris Benoit.
00:19:39Well, right now, the Bashams cut the ring off the proper way.
00:19:42Isolate the man you're beating down, and that's Rhino right now.
00:19:46Well, people here at Rochester trying to get behind the man piece.
00:19:49What's gonna be the Big Show strategy?
00:19:51Is it gonna be isolation later tonight as he meets Stephanie McMahon and Zach Gowen
00:19:55with Gowen's contract on the line?
00:19:58That matchup hardly seems fair.
00:20:00Not for nothing.
00:20:01Our general manager, Stephanie and Zach Gowen, are both in trouble, in my opinion.
00:20:05Well, Danny Dixon's in trouble right here.
00:20:07Nice suplex.
00:20:08Back to the head.
00:20:09Hammered against the mat, but Rhino needs to make a tag to Chris Benoit.
00:20:13Look at Doug Basham, almost a veteran maneuver there, drawing Benoit to the referee.
00:20:17Well, if you notice, Doug did that as soon as he heard the...
00:20:19Oh, man.
00:20:20Soon as he heard Shanika hit the whip on the apron, he just reacted like a poodle or something.
00:20:25Oh, so you do all the commands and stuff.
00:20:26I don't know what it comes to.
00:20:27Here's Benoit.
00:20:28The tag, nice drop kick to the knees.
00:20:30Knocking down Basham that time.
00:20:31Kick to the midsection of Doug Basham.
00:20:33There's the snap suplex by Chris Benoit.
00:20:35Textbook, textbook.
00:20:36Watch the German!
00:20:37Yeah!
00:20:38Chris Benoit keeps the arms locked against the waist and from behind.
00:20:42It's Doug Basham.
00:20:44Here's the double team by the Basham brothers and now Rhino gets involved.
00:20:48Look at this!
00:20:49Oh, there it is!
00:20:50There it is!
00:20:51The crossface card!
00:20:52Woken up right there by Doug Basham.
00:20:55And Rhino sends Basham to the second rope.
00:20:58Rhino, Rhino coming right out here in front of us with Doug.
00:21:01There goes Danny!
00:21:02Danny Basham into the release German!
00:21:05And Chris Benoit, who's already advanced in the US title tournament, wants to put this
00:21:12one away!
00:21:13Benoit's going up!
00:21:14Benoit's gonna fly!
00:21:15Heads up!
00:21:16Heads up!
00:21:17Benoit connects!
00:21:18Can't Benoit take advantage?
00:21:20Danny Basham wisely rolling to the ropes.
00:21:23Rhino right out in front of our table.
00:21:25Yeah, look at Benoit pulling Basham toward the middle of the ring again.
00:21:27Here's the cover!
00:21:28And Doug Basham just saves the matchup for his team.
00:21:31Beautiful maneuver right there by Doug Basham.
00:21:36And Rhino back into the ring.
00:21:38And look at Rhino smelling that gore!
00:21:41And look at Danny Basham grabbing the leg of Rhino.
00:21:44He'll turn you back to Chris Benoit.
00:21:46Wow!
00:21:47That was a shot!
00:21:48You ain't kidding, that was a shot.
00:21:50Cracked the cross for the face Benoit was.
00:21:52The Basham brothers holding their own here against Benoit and Rhino.
00:21:55Tough team motivated by Shaniqua outside.
00:21:58Here it is!
00:21:59Off the ball and get in!
00:22:00Oh!
00:22:01Right over the interception!
00:22:02And here's the cross face!
00:22:03Cross face to the end!
00:22:04He's got it locked in!
00:22:05Danny's in trouble!
00:22:07And Danny taps to the cross nose!
00:22:18Here are your winners, Rhino and Chris!
00:22:21And one!
00:22:22Oh man, the Basham's gonna have to answer to Shaniqua.
00:22:24Now!
00:22:25What's this?
00:22:26I think Shaniqua may want to give Benoit and Rhino a ball and gag!
00:22:31Or whatever the hell you call it!
00:22:32You know what it's called!
00:22:33It's called!
00:22:34Look at this!
00:22:35What's Shaniqua inviting Benoit to home world?
00:22:37Anyhow, Benoit and Rhino pick up the victory over the Bashams here tonight!
00:22:41Stephanie McMahon!
00:22:42Stephanie McMahon!
00:22:51Daddy, are you, um, are you really serious about me being in this handicap match against the big show tonight?
00:23:06Why, Stephanie?
00:23:07You look nervous!
00:23:08Oh, let me see!
00:23:09You're wondering whether or not I would put you in harm's way this week, kind of like you put me in harm's way last week, right?
00:23:21Dad, I don't think you can really compare the two. I mean, fine, maybe I encouraged Zach to, you know, hit you in your testicles, but Dad, that doesn't compare to being in the ring against a giant.
00:23:38I mean, Zach has trained for, what, a few weeks, and I'm a woman, Dad.
00:23:42Yeah.
00:23:43And I'm not a wrestler, and Big Show's a giant.
00:23:47He is. He's a monster.
00:23:50But you know, Stephanie, there's an old adage, spare the rod, spoil the child.
00:23:57But, Dad, I'm not a child.
00:24:00Brock Lesnar hasn't even been able to beat the Big Show, Dad, and you're putting me...
00:24:05Please, please reconsider.
00:24:06You're not a child? You know what? All along I thought you were Daddy's little girl.
00:24:13Good luck on your match tonight.
00:24:16Be careful, don't get hurt.
00:24:30Stephanie, I just heard about your match tonight.
00:24:33I cannot believe your father's gonna go through with this.
00:24:36I mean, you could really get hurt. You could really get hurt.
00:24:42But I'm sure Mr. McMahon would never forgive himself if anything were to happen to his baby girl.
00:24:48What do you want, Sable?
00:24:49Well, I just came to check on you. And, of course, to let you know that I would be watching. And to wish you luck tonight.
00:25:01Oh.
00:25:02Thanks.
00:25:03Oh, but Stephanie, if anything unfortunate were to happen, I don't want you to worry about SmackDown.
00:25:11No. Because I'm sure that I would be able to satisfy your father. As far as being the general manager of SmackDown, that is.
00:25:21No doubt.
00:25:24Baby, welcome to the first day of the rest of our lives.
00:25:38Oh, I like it, Jamie.
00:25:39Girl, my Aunt Lucille dying was the best thing that ever happened to us.
00:25:44I mean, think about it, baby. $827,000. That's a lot of money, baby.
00:25:50Honey.
00:25:51I mean, we gotta be smart about it, baby. Don't get me wrong.
00:25:53I mean, me and you, we're better than everybody else now. We deserve the finer things in life.
00:25:57Like this big old limo I got you to bring you here today. And, baby, check out what I got, baby.
00:26:01Look at this. Check out these cool sunglasses.
00:26:04I'll be back.
00:26:06Oh!
00:26:07I'm not going to a Schwarzenegger and Terminator, girl.
00:26:09Seth, way better looking.
00:26:10Oh, you got that.
00:26:11Check out what I got.
00:26:12You got your sign?
00:26:13Yeah.
00:26:14Whoa, really, Jamie?
00:26:15Sorry, baby.
00:26:16Yeah.
00:26:21Yeah?
00:26:22Yeah, baby, that's nice and all that, but, baby, it's a little warm to be wearing during the middle of summer, ain't it, girl?
00:26:29Jamie, this is a genuine imitation mock mink fur coat. Why should I just wear it during the winter? I mean, look at it. It's beautiful.
00:26:39I'm going to wear this all year round.
00:26:41Shoot, baby, you make everything look beautiful. Come here, girl.
00:26:48Let me take care of this driver real fast.
00:26:52There you go, boy. That's for your trouble.
00:26:55Come on, baby. Let's go.
00:26:59Jamie, no, boy. Nice to meet you.
00:27:01You hold your right hand too low.
00:27:14You ain't caught on the chin like that, man.
00:27:16Orlando Jordan.
00:27:17How you going? How you doing?
00:27:18Good, good, good. Take care. It's an honor to finally be able to introduce myself to you, man.
00:27:22Well, that's the whole reason I came over here. I wanted to talk to you about what happened last week with John Cena.
00:27:26Now, I know you're a young man and you're trying to make a name for yourself here on SmackDown.
00:27:31But listen, you got to realize you got to pay dues here. Paying dues here means you go out to the ring every week, you get your ass kicked, you pick yourself up and you come back the next week and you try it again.
00:27:43Nothing's free here. You earn your victories out there. But that little beat down you took after the match, see, that don't fly.
00:27:53See, if you let guys like John Cena do that to you, you're not going to have any respect. You don't have any respect that's going to continue to happen.
00:28:02You're not going to go anywhere here. So what you have to do to guys like John Cena is you got to go up to him and you got to challenge him.
00:28:10You got to let him know what you're all about. You got to let him know you got a set. And when you do that, you'll get his respect.
00:28:18And you'll get all the respect of the guys in the locker room. You'll get my respect. And most of all, you'll get the fans' respect.
00:28:28All right? Hey, we won't happen again.
00:28:31Oh, it's okay. It's great. It's okay. He's hating on me over there. It's okay. Y'all having me a little moment. That's okay. I'm on fire right now, you heard.
00:28:38Yo, me and you had something like that way back. What happened, man? You dropped me like a bad habit.
00:28:44Orlando, don't let this white boy right here brainwash you into catching another beatdown, you know what I'm saying?
00:28:51And, uh, Undertaker, I think you're forgetting. I'm a veteran now. So let me give you some advice. One veteran to another. Watch whose business you stick your nose in. You heard?
00:29:07Everybody gotta learn the hard way.
00:29:17I'm a nice man. I believe John Cena better learn a little bit about respect.
00:29:23I think you're playing with fire.
00:29:29Look at this. Look at this. Look at that. Yeah!
00:29:33The contest is scheduled for a wonderful show.
00:29:37I'm thinking it's worth writing a company by Tori Wilson.
00:29:39Weighing in at 265 pounds, Billy McGaugh.
00:29:45And you see Tori there.
00:29:47And the WWE Summer Diva Search heats up this month.
00:29:51The contestants are all in and out. Time for our fans to vote.
00:29:55Log on to divasearch.wwe.com.
00:29:57Let us know who you think has what it takes to be a WWE Diva.
00:30:03I think Tori has what it takes to be a WWE Diva.
00:30:05You bet? Yeah, I think so. Good luck, ladies.
00:30:11Well, Billy Gunn is set for action. It's Billy Gunn and John Cena.
00:30:15The U.S. Title Tournament continues next.
00:30:24We are back on SmackDown.
00:30:26The U.S. Title Tournament continues with Billy Gunn versus this man.
00:30:31The U.S. Title Tournament.
00:30:33The U.S. Title Tournament.
00:30:35The U.S. Title Tournament.
00:30:37Chill, chill, chill.
00:30:39Chill, chill, chill.
00:30:41Man.
00:30:44Undertaker spreading them lies to Orlando Jordan.
00:30:48It's not your yard.
00:30:50It's a prison, bro.
00:30:52And I'm the warden.
00:30:54You can't see me.
00:30:56I'm a legend.
00:30:57You should pay me respect.
00:30:59And if you're late on paying me, I'm gonna come and collect.
00:31:04See, you should stop thinking about The Undertaker and concentrate on Billy Gunn.
00:31:09Hey, I'm not nervous because you got this weird fetish with butts.
00:31:13I'm scared because your favorite food is sausage and nuts.
00:31:21You can't handle the truth, Billy.
00:31:23You'd rather feel up Chuck.
00:31:25You don't wanna wrestle with me.
00:31:27All you want is to work life.
00:31:29This is crazy.
00:31:30Oh, you got so much in common with Billy Gunn.
00:31:32I can't believe this.
00:31:33All I know is John Cena better learn about respect.
00:31:35Billy Gunn is hopping mad after those remarks.
00:31:39And John Cena is on the hop.
00:31:41You see?
00:31:42Hopping mad.
00:31:43He's upset.
00:31:44Billy Gunn with a big elbow.
00:31:45You know, John Cena's in the back calling himself a veteran.
00:31:47He's in the ring of this matchup against a real veteran.
00:31:50A former 10-time Tag Team Champion.
00:31:53A former King of the Ring.
00:31:54A former Intercontinental Champion.
00:31:56Billy Gunn.
00:31:57Well, don't get so defensive for Billy Gunn.
00:31:59Geez, relax.
00:32:00But you know what?
00:32:01I'm sort of sick and tired of John Cena, to be honest with you.
00:32:03I mean, aren't you shoelace?
00:32:04Yeah, I'm shoelace.
00:32:05But I'm sort of sick and tired of John Cena.
00:32:06Wait, are you shoelaces?
00:32:07Are you sweat socks?
00:32:08Who are you?
00:32:09That's nice.
00:32:10I mean, John Cena goes out there.
00:32:11Undertaker's having a great moment with Orlando Jordan.
00:32:12Giving the rookie some advice.
00:32:13John Cena's gotta ruin that moment.
00:32:15Oh, what a clothesline by Billy Gunn.
00:32:17Here's the cover on John Cena, who gets the shoulder up.
00:32:20Again.
00:32:21Again a cover.
00:32:22And again, Cena gets the shoulder up in this US title tournament again.
00:32:25Matt Hardy and Chris Benoit have already advanced in this tournament.
00:32:28One of these two men will join those two as his tournament continues.
00:32:32Well, you know doubt about it.
00:32:33John Cena's in there with a veteran.
00:32:34Billy Gunn, all kidding the size, can get it done flat out in the middle of that ring.
00:32:39And his crowd, somewhat partial there to John Cena.
00:32:46Well, maybe this crowd doesn't like asses like Billy Gunn does.
00:32:48As Billy Gunn...
00:32:49It is rotten.
00:32:50Cakes it to Cena.
00:32:51Look down.
00:32:52Billy Gunn!
00:32:53Oh, man!
00:32:54Into the steel post.
00:32:55Remember, Billy Gunn only been back a couple of weeks after having rotator cuff surgery.
00:32:59Billy Gunn's gonna feel like he's back on the beach there.
00:33:02If they're getting hit in the head like that, he's probably dreaming.
00:33:05I think they're dreaming.
00:33:06Billy Gunn struggling to get back into the ring.
00:33:09And John Cena again on the assault.
00:33:12And there's one thing about John Cena.
00:33:14When his opponent is wounded, Cena smells the blood and immediately goes to work as we
00:33:19take another look at Billy Gunn hitting the steel post.
00:33:21Yeah, it locks Billy's forehead.
00:33:22Bingo!
00:33:23Straight into that steel post.
00:33:24Ain't no giving that post.
00:33:25Nice vertical suplex floating over right to recover.
00:33:26Cover hooks the leg and Billy Gunn gets the shoulder up again.
00:33:27But you're right about Cena Cole.
00:33:28When he has a weak spot in his opponent, bingo, he gets right on it.
00:33:29That's the mark of a guy that's got a big upside in this industry.
00:33:30When you've got your opponent hurting, you've got to go get it and stay on it.
00:33:32You see Tory Wilson willing Billy Gunn on.
00:33:33No secret now that there is some sort of relationship between Tory and Billy.
00:33:37That's the rumors running rampant in the locker room.
00:33:38Yeah, thanks, Michael.
00:33:39Appreciate it.
00:33:40And here are the elbows to the gun of John Cena.
00:33:41But again, Cena with authority.
00:33:42And now begins to stomp over.
00:33:43And now begins to stomp over.
00:33:44And now begins to stomp over.
00:33:45And now begins to stomp over.
00:33:46And you're right about Cena Cole.
00:33:47When he has a weak spot in his opponent, bingo, he gets right on it.
00:33:48That's the mark of a guy that's got a big upside in this industry.
00:33:49When you've got your opponent hurting, you've got to go get it and stay on it.
00:33:51You see Tory Wilson willing Billy Gunn on.
00:33:52No secret now that there is some sort of relationship between Tory and Billy.
00:33:55Yeah, thanks, Michael.
00:33:56Appreciate it.
00:33:57And here are the elbows to the gun of John Cena.
00:33:59But again, Cena with authority.
00:34:00And now begins to stomp away at Billy Gunn.
00:34:03A very unorthodox style of attack for Cena, but effective.
00:34:06Cover again.
00:34:07Hook of the leg and a kick out.
00:34:09Any more obvious stuff?
00:34:10Like, you know, tell me John Cena's a wrestler and that Tory Wilson is blonde and she's hot.
00:34:14Any more obvious things to point out?
00:34:15No.
00:34:16Okay, I want to make sure.
00:34:17Thanks.
00:34:18Jamie, I tell you, Nidia looked great in that coat, didn't she?
00:34:21Yes, she did.
00:34:22Nice beaver.
00:34:23It was a make.
00:34:24Right hand from Cena to Billy Gunn and another right hand.
00:34:28The winner of this matchup advances in the U.S. title tournament.
00:34:31Again, the title coming back to the WWE, a title that began back in 1975.
00:34:37Look at the cover by John Cena.
00:34:39Hook of the leg again and Billy Gunn kicks out.
00:34:42John Cena, a little upset with sparks on that count.
00:34:45Can't, you know, decide how fast the rep's gonna count.
00:34:48I mean, what, are you gonna put batteries in the guy's arms or something?
00:34:50Imagine the bragging to be going on if John Cena won the U.S. title.
00:34:53Look at this sidewalk slam.
00:34:54Again, cover, hook of the leg, a Billy Gunn who gets the shoulder off.
00:34:58I mean, John Cena, he'd be putting himself in the ranks of great U.S. title holders like
00:35:03Harley Race and Ricky Steamboat.
00:35:06Yeah, those guys were great called No Bound, but it's the year, no doubt, but it's year 2003.
00:35:10John Cena's the end.
00:35:11John Cena's, you know, John Cena's what it's about.
00:35:14I mean, I dig Cena.
00:35:15You know, I think some kids might dig him.
00:35:17Especially the bad chicks.
00:35:18I don't dig him.
00:35:19At least I like him.
00:35:20You're a nerd, bro.
00:35:21You don't beg him.
00:35:22Next, you're gonna tell me you like the Bee Gees.
00:35:24But look at this.
00:35:25John Cena to his feet as Billy Gunn delivers the elbow to the midsection of John Cena.
00:35:30The veteran Billy Gunn trying to battle back in this matchup.
00:35:32See him this clothesline.
00:35:33One slam by Billy Gunn.
00:35:35Well, it just takes one second to miss a maneuver with a veteran like Billy Gunn, a guy with
00:35:40the accolades that Gunn has, and he capitalized it.
00:35:43Turn the point in the match right now.
00:35:44Both athletes are down.
00:35:45Two.
00:35:46Saw earlier on Stephanie McMahon trying to get out of that handicap match today with Zach Gowen
00:35:51against the Big Show, but this man wanted nothing to do with it.
00:35:54He's gonna put his daughter through that battle tonight.
00:35:56You can't complain the way certain people raise their children's bolt.
00:35:59How about Sable rubbing it in?
00:36:00Oh!
00:36:01A clothesline by Billy Gunn.
00:36:03I don't think Sable's got other ideas.
00:36:05She'd love to be in that gentleman.
00:36:06She's a great gentleman.
00:36:07She's got an agenda.
00:36:08Oh, wow!
00:36:09Here's the cover again.
00:36:10Hook of the leg on Cena, and Cena just gets the shoulder up.
00:36:14I guess the best way to talk about Sable would be to say she's opportunistic?
00:36:18I think so, and very hot.
00:36:20And look at this.
00:36:21Oh!
00:36:22For Billy Gunn.
00:36:23Back to that ring post, face first for Gunn.
00:36:25Cena's gonna capitalize.
00:36:26Oh!
00:36:27Well, John Cena calls that the throwback.
00:36:30Here's the hook of the leg on Billy Gunn who gets the shoulder up.
00:36:32I heard that in the hood.
00:36:33The throwback.
00:36:34Yeah, you're a real hoodie.
00:36:35Yeah, well, Cena, you talk about all those great U.S. champions of past like Harley Race
00:36:38and Ricky Steamboat.
00:36:39Uh-oh!
00:36:40Uh-oh!
00:36:41Uh-oh!
00:36:42But Cena could be a throwback, but he's got the chain.
00:36:43Well, John Cena has a chain, but here comes Toto!
00:36:46You want it now!
00:36:47You want it now!
00:36:49We want it now!
00:36:50We want it now!
00:36:51Maybe you want it now!
00:36:52We want it now!
00:36:53We want it now!
00:36:54Big evil to pain Cena kick.
00:36:55I'm gonna get allow!
00:36:56John Cena can't believe it, there he is!
00:36:57The Undertaker claims that everyone has to learn the hard way!
00:37:01I believe John Cena may be about to learn respect.
00:37:08John Cena is shocked that The Undertaker
00:37:15has driven a motorcycle out here.
00:37:18I just read Cena's lips.
00:37:19He said, we interrupted you coming out to my Yon.
00:37:21Cena better be careful.
00:37:22Trying to disrespect The Undertaker's Yon.
00:37:25Second time The Undertaker's interrupted
00:37:27at John Cena's matchup.
00:37:28Billy Gunn moments Cena over.
00:37:30And Billy Gunn of the distraction advances in the tournament.
00:37:34Here's your winner, Billy Gunn.
00:37:38The distraction by The Undertaker.
00:37:40Klaus Johnson of the matchup.
00:37:42Billy Gunn advances in the U.S. title tournament.
00:37:45Don't mess around.
00:37:47What a veteran like The Undertaker.
00:37:49He'll play games with you.
00:37:51Cena lost that game and lost the match.
00:37:53And lost the opportunity to advance for the United States Championship.
00:37:57Billy Gunn advances.
00:37:58You think John Cena may afford his lesson?
00:38:01I don't know.
00:38:02Let's check this out again here.
00:38:04We'll take another look at what happened at the closing moments of the matchup.
00:38:08Cena distracted.
00:38:10The referee Mike Sparks taking that chance in his hands.
00:38:12And then Billy Gunn with a nice small package here.
00:38:16Playing possible.
00:38:17Boom.
00:38:18Locked up.
00:38:19Hooked up.
00:38:20Cena.
00:38:21And that's all she wrote.
00:38:22Billy Gunn joins Matt Hardy and Chris Benoit.
00:38:24As those who advanced in the U.S. title tournament.
00:38:27But John Cena.
00:38:29It was stuck to Cena tonight by The Undertaker.
00:38:32It's all about respect, Mr. Cena.
00:38:34That was a good shot, too.
00:38:39Did you see her face?
00:38:44Yeah.
00:38:45That was a good one.
00:38:47That was a good one.
00:38:48That was pretty good.
00:38:50That hurt.
00:38:57Good.
00:38:58You know, everything has to be a competition with you, doesn't it?
00:39:01Yeah, it does.
00:39:02I'm a very competitive guy.
00:39:03You know that.
00:39:04Well, since I can't kick your butt to a vengeance, how about we have a little competition right here tonight?
00:39:09Well, name the game.
00:39:10Name the game.
00:39:11All right, how about a real man's competition?
00:39:14How about push-ups?
00:39:16Push-ups.
00:39:17Yeah, yeah.
00:39:18Let's see who can do 100 push-ups.
00:39:20100 push-ups.
00:39:22All right, all right.
00:39:23300.
00:39:24Like you can do 300 push-ups.
00:39:26How do you think I won these gold medals, pal?
00:39:29Now, let's do it.
00:39:30You go first.
00:39:31All right, all right.
00:39:35So this is what it's like at your level.
00:39:45That's not funny.
00:39:47Get down and do your damn push-ups.
00:39:49All right, come on.
00:39:51Ready?
00:39:52Go.
00:39:53One, two, three, four.
00:39:57Three, four.
00:39:58Come on.
00:39:59All right, all right, all right.
00:40:00Those counted.
00:40:01Okay, we'll start with seven.
00:40:02Go.
00:40:03Seven, eight, nine, ten.
00:40:07Come on, Brock.
00:40:09294, 295.
00:40:14You're gonna do it, man.
00:40:15Olympic caliber, 296.
00:40:20Yes.
00:40:21Come on, four more, baby.
00:40:23297.
00:40:25Come on, Brock.
00:40:26Come on.
00:40:27That was a little crooky.
00:40:29Come on, Brock.
00:40:30298.
00:40:31Come on.
00:40:32You got it.
00:40:33Come on.
00:40:34Up.
00:40:35Up.
00:40:36Come on, Brock.

00:40:40Come on.
00:40:41Come on, Brock.

00:40:54I'm not going.
00:40:55I'm not going.
00:40:56I'm not going.
00:40:57I'm not going for you, baby.
00:40:58All right.
00:40:59Come on, Brock.
00:41:00Here we go.
00:41:01This is one for you, Gary.
00:41:02Olympic gold.
00:41:03Olympic gold challenge.
00:41:04This is one for you, buddy.
00:41:05300 and.
00:41:06Wow.
00:41:07That was awesome.
00:41:08That was awesome.
00:41:09That was awesome.
00:41:10All right, Kurt.
00:41:11Now it's your turn.
00:41:12It's your turn, Kurt.
00:41:13Come on, help me out.
00:41:14You know what?
00:41:15Help me out.
00:41:16Listen, hey, hey.
00:41:17That's okay.
00:41:18You win.
00:41:19Come on.
00:41:20Get back here.
00:41:21Help me out.
00:41:22I can't feel my arms.
00:41:23Come on.
00:41:24Real funny.
00:41:25Well, those two meet for the WWE Championship July 27th at Vengeance in Denver.
00:41:30Yeah, once they get in that ring, there won't be no last, and I guarantee it.
00:41:34The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the WWE Tag.
00:41:39The Duke Championship.
00:41:40Profree daily to the Hell in the Games in Denver.
00:41:41And it is for the WWE Tag.
00:41:42The Tag.
00:41:43For the Hell in the Games in Denver.
00:41:44The United States in Denver.
00:41:45And once they get in that ring, there won't be no last, and I guarantee it.
00:41:50The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the WWE Tag Team Championship.
00:41:55Procuring New England Challengers at a combined weight, of 489 pounds.
00:42:00Charley Haas and Shelton Benjamin.
00:42:03Well, Shelton, Benjamin, and Charley Haas hoping to play a gold medal.
00:42:07Benjamin and Charlie Haas hoping to prove they're the best tag team in the WWE tonight.
00:42:13I'll tell you, former Team Angle members looking to step out on their own.
00:42:17Well, WWE SmackDown is brought to you by Xbox.
00:42:20For the best games, there's no power greater than X.
00:42:23And by new Stridex Fruit Therapy, the acne fighter with vitamins and fruit extract, Stridex, 6-4.
00:42:30The Fruit Therapy, that's good.
00:42:32And by Taco Bell, where you can spice up the night.
00:42:37VIVA LA RASA!
00:42:44And at a combined weight of 434 pounds, there are the tag team champions, Eddie Gartero and Tajiri.
00:42:55Check out the love rider.
00:42:58Pretty cool.
00:43:00Oh, Chevy Blazer.
00:43:01Pick them up, right?
00:43:03Pick up to the home.
00:43:04Eddie and Tajiri rolling into town.
00:43:07Is this thing bounce around, or is it just a bunch of deals?
00:43:09It's even hot forever.
00:43:10To make a little sweet sound, what's it doing?
00:43:13I don't know, you know all about lowriders.
00:43:15Yeah, look, there goes some rear ends going up and down.
00:43:18It's kind of like an ex-girlfriend once a rear end went up and down all the time.
00:43:23I'll tell you, what a great relationship these two guys have.
00:43:26And what a great team, Eddie and Tajiri have made.
00:43:28Since they surprisingly took the tag team titles from Benjamin and Haas in that ladder match back at Judgment Day.
00:43:34And no, they've been great champions.
00:43:36For some crazy reason, I mean, Tajiri and Latino Heat, Eddie Guerrero just got that chemistry.
00:43:43They got it.
00:43:43And that's why they are the Tag Team Chips.
00:43:47You know, Benjamin and Haas have been floating around for the last couple of weeks saying they are going to prove that they are the best tag team in the WWE.
00:43:55They have an opportunity to do that tonight against Eddie Guerrero and Tajiri.
00:43:58But I also believe tonight, Taz, for Benjamin and Haas, this is a perfect opportunity for these two young athletes to step out of the shadow of Kurt Angle.
00:44:07I think that's a great point on your part, Cole.
00:44:09I agree with you.
00:44:11And right now, like you said, it is a great opportunity.
00:44:13And that's what SmackDown's all about.
00:44:15Our general manager, Stephanie McMahon, she gives opportunity.
00:44:18And Stephanie's going to have a hands full later on tonight.
00:44:20I don't think Stephanie's paying too much attention to this matchup.
00:44:23Because Stephanie McMahon and Zach Gowen in a handicap match tonight against the Big Show, Zach Gowen's contract hangs in the balance.
00:44:31And look at Tajiri going to work on Charlie Haas.
00:44:33If you're Gowen and Stephanie, what the hell do you do against the Big Show?
00:44:38The guy's 500 pounds.
00:44:39I don't know.
00:44:39I don't know what they're going to do.
00:44:40I would go to church real quick.
00:44:42But that's another story.
00:44:43Top wrist lock right here.
00:44:45Boom, locked in by Charlie Haas.
00:44:47Former All-American from Seton Hall.
00:44:49Charlie Haas taking it to the Japanese.
00:44:51Bucks on Tajiri.
00:44:52Bridging right there.
00:44:53Tajiri bridging.
00:44:54Trying to...
00:44:54Here's a nice arm drag.
00:44:56WWE Tag Team titles on the line.
00:44:59Tajiri working on Charlie Haas early going to this matchup.
00:45:02And here's the first tag of the match.
00:45:04Danny Guerrero.
00:45:04Swap by Tajiri.
00:45:05Don't want to trade holes with a guy like Charlie Haas.
00:45:08Tremendous Matt Tech-Tition.
00:45:10You want to frequent tags in and out if you're Guerrero.
00:45:12Tajiri.
00:45:13Oh, Charlie Haas.
00:45:14Nice shoulder knockdown.
00:45:15And Eddie Guerrero.
00:45:16She was a back elbow.
00:45:16Running at that back elbow there.
00:45:18And here comes Shelton Benjamin.
00:45:19Shelton in off the tag.
00:45:20Nice arm drag by Eddie Guerrero into the arm bar on the former All-American from the University
00:45:25of Minnesota.
00:45:26A former teammate of the WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar.
00:45:30I don't think Lesnar wants to do any more push-ups to you.
00:45:32No, man.
00:45:32300 push-ups.
00:45:34He's an animal.
00:45:34Look at Shelton Benjamin.
00:45:36That was unique.
00:45:37A little page out of Eddie Guerrero's playbook there.
00:45:39Well, Shelton's one hell of an athlete.
00:45:41I mean, so quick on his feet.
00:45:43Extremely flexible.
00:45:44Great balance, Shelton Benjamin.
00:45:46And so was Eddie Guerrero.
00:45:48You know Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas fairly well.
00:45:50Yes, I do.
00:45:50The opportunity to spend a lot of time with these guys.
00:45:52How much or how important is it for these two to win the tag team titles back here tonight?
00:45:56That's what they're about.
00:45:58Benjamin and Haas are used to being champions, and that's what they want.
00:46:01They want the gold.
00:46:03But Latino, he, to Jerry, ain't going to give it up too easy.
00:46:05Nice slam by Eddie Guerrero for power slam.
00:46:08Eddie Guerrero is that luchador style of a Guerrero right here.
00:46:12Look at that.
00:46:13Oh, a lot of scissors.
00:46:18Great respect from the fans in Rochester.
00:46:20How do you not respect that phenomenal athleticism by Eddie Guerrero?
00:46:27And now the Eddie chant begins.
00:46:29That's why the fans love Guerrero and Tajiri.
00:46:31Tremendous athletes, great team together, and they're a lot of fun to watch in the ring.
00:46:35And look at Charlie Haas in the tag.
00:46:36Very a lot of fun.
00:46:37Watching cartoons is fun, Cole.
00:46:39It's a wrestling match.
00:46:40They're exciting to watch.
00:46:41I don't like your truce of words this evening.
00:46:43They're fun.
00:46:43You know, Eddie and Tajiri, they're rolling in the low rider.
00:46:45Fun.
00:46:46You want fun hanging out?
00:46:47And Charlie Haas with the right hands to Eddie Guerrero.
00:46:54Nice suplex by Charlie Haas.
00:46:56Floats into the cover.
00:46:57Eddie Guerrero kicks out with the tag team titles on the line.
00:46:59That's the amateur background of Charlie Haas.
00:47:01See how quickly floated over after that vertical suplex.
00:47:04This he didn't learn in the wrestling room at Seton Hall.
00:47:06Oh, no, not at all.
00:47:07Gouging a man's face.
00:47:09Talking about Mr. McMahon earlier on with his big handicap match here tonight.
00:47:12Stephanie and Zach against the Big Show.
00:47:14It's a two-on-one match.
00:47:15Right, two-on-one match.
00:47:16But what about Mr. McMahon saying that he has an announcement concerning the fate of Mr. America
00:47:22here?
00:47:22Wow.
00:47:23Eddie Guerrero, tremendous.
00:47:25Beautiful belly-to-belly suplex by Eddie Guerrero.
00:47:27I'm not sure what Mr. McMahon meant by that.
00:47:29Oh, nice spinning heel kick right there by Tajiri.
00:47:33Tajiri, the Japanese buzzsaw.
00:47:35You don't want to match kicks with Tajiri if you're Benjamin Haas.
00:47:37You don't want to do that very quick.
00:47:40Tajiri's a-
00:47:40Wow!
00:47:41Nice!
00:47:41What a counter!
00:47:42Hook of the leg!
00:47:43Haas in trouble and just kicks out.
00:47:45Beautiful.
00:47:46I don't know what Tajiri calls that.
00:47:47Like an inverted reverse bulldog maybe?
00:47:49I'm not sure.
00:47:50It was really unique.
00:47:52Tajiri lands on his feet.
00:47:54Tremendous balance.
00:47:54Charlie Haas doesn't realize Tajiri landed on his feet.
00:47:57Watch the kick.
00:47:57No, I was wrong.
00:47:58Look at this.
00:47:59Look out.
00:47:59Going for a runner maybe.
00:48:00No, no.
00:48:01And look at Shelton helping his partner out.
00:48:04Great abdominal strength by Tajiri.
00:48:06But close line of the springboard.
00:48:08Oh, my God.
00:48:09The cover.
00:48:10Tag titles can change hands right here.
00:48:12And Eddie Guerrero makes sure it doesn't happen.
00:48:14That was amazing.
00:48:16Tremendous, tremendous veteran save right there by Eddie Guerrero.
00:48:20Benjamin and Haas controlling Tajiri.
00:48:24In off the tag comes Shelton Benjamin.
00:48:26And here's the double team.
00:48:29Tajiri in all kinds of trouble.
00:48:31Tajiri screaming in pain.
00:48:33Cover.
00:48:33Hook of the leg.
00:48:34And Tajiri kicks out again.
00:48:36But Benjamin and Haas are wearing Tajiri down.
00:48:40The tag team titles hang in the balance.
00:48:43The challengers are in control.
00:48:44Will they be when we come back?
00:48:46Abdominal stretch tightly applied.
00:48:50During the commercial break, Tajiri was isolated from his corner by Benjamin and Haas.
00:48:55But Tajiri is now trying to battle out of a predicament here.
00:48:59But back to the abdominal stretch.
00:49:01I mean, different submissions left and right during the break.
00:49:03Haas and Benjamin bending Tajiri like a pretzel.
00:49:08Every which way but loose.
00:49:09This is SmackDown from Rochester, New York.
00:49:11Tajiri and Eddie Guerrero with the tag team titles on the line against Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas.
00:49:16And the Japanese butt saw is in trouble.
00:49:21Shelton Benjamin continues to pressure it.
00:49:23What the hell is Eddie Guerrero doing?
00:49:25He's holding an ass, no tag.
00:49:29What's Eddie doing?
00:49:30He's holding a tag.
00:49:31Well, he was holding a tag, bro.
00:49:33I think now he's telling the referee no tag was made.
00:49:36Okay, Hefner, I mean, you can see there's a difference between these two guys.
00:49:41Well, Brian Hefner, he's doing the right thing here.
00:49:43Yes, he is.
00:49:44Brian Hefner saying a tag was never made.
00:49:46I can see.
00:49:47I mean, I can see if it was the bashings, but not these guys.
00:49:51Tajiri's trying to get to his corner.
00:49:52Well, as Haas and Benjamin were arguing with the referee, Tajiri was trying to make it to Eddie Guerrero.
00:49:56But again, Tajiri's been in the ring for a tremendous amount of time.
00:49:59He's been isolated by Benjamin Haas. Tajiri needs to make a tag.
00:50:03Tajiri's still got some smack, some spring in those punches there.
00:50:08Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin trying to win back the tag team titles.
00:50:12That phenomenal amateur background.
00:50:14You're going to put your balance, put your weight on your opponent's body.
00:50:17And that's just what Shelton Benjamin had, just making Tajiri exert energy.
00:50:21While he's just riding, just playing with him.
00:50:24Charlie Haas in on the tag as the isolation continues.
00:50:27Tremendous courage here by Tajiri just to stay in this matchup after the punishment he's absorbed.
00:50:33When you are a champion, one-half of the tag team champions, if you lose, you lose your partner's title also.
00:50:39That's important.
00:50:40You've got to retain your championship.
00:50:42He doesn't want to let down his partner either.
00:50:43Shoulders down.
00:50:44And Tajiri just kicks out before the count of three.
00:50:48Eddie Guerrero looking on.
00:50:49Really needs to try to get this matchup.
00:50:51And the Guerrero does.
00:50:52Go Tigers every day.
00:50:53Referee Brian Hebner.
00:50:54And you see the frustration now starting to build in Eddie Guerrero.
00:50:57Knows he has to get into this matchup or the titles could be lost.
00:51:01But meanwhile, back in the ranch in that ring, that front headlock is just choking Tajiri out right here by Haas.
00:51:07But again, you mentioned it.
00:51:08It's the tremendous amateur backgrounds of Haas and Benjamin that allowed them to wear Tajiri down here.
00:51:14You get submissions put on you.
00:51:16Everyone's right, but it moves, and it takes a lot out of your body.
00:51:18Submission here.
00:51:19We've seen this before.
00:51:20It's pure pain across the small of the back.
00:51:23Again, working on that rib area of Tajiri are Benjamin and Haas.
00:51:28That vertical leap is scary, of Benjamin.
00:51:30Back of the leg.
00:51:30Eddie Guerrero breaks up the three count.
00:51:32Quickly out of the ring goes Eddie to grab that tag rope.
00:51:37Well, he lies, he cheats, he steals.
00:51:40Family tradition, Cole.
00:51:42The fans respecting the fact that Eddie Guerrero protected his teammate and protecting the title.
00:51:47Well, that's all fun to wear, but Tajiri's throwing Haas way here, Cole.
00:51:51Tajiri, look out.
00:51:52Take it to the back of the head.
00:51:54I've been there, taking that in my head.
00:51:56Can Tajiri make a tag here?
00:51:58Can Tajiri get to Eddie?
00:52:00Benjamin is in trouble.
00:52:02Tajiri's got to get it up here and get to that corner.
00:52:06Tajiri crawling.
00:52:07Tag made to Haas.
00:52:08Here comes Latino Heat.
00:52:10And Latino Heat is all fired up.
00:52:13Beautiful dropkick right in.
00:52:14Number one.
00:52:15Eddie Guerrero off the dropkick after his partner survived to make the tag.
00:52:19Eddie Guerrero is taking it.
00:52:21To Haas and Benjamin.
00:52:22Major League back drop by Eddie Guerrero.
00:52:24Big vertical suplex.
00:52:27The triple.
00:52:28Here comes another.
00:52:29But Haas from behind.
00:52:30And now Eddie Guerrero is in trouble.
00:52:33Powerbomb.
00:52:34Eddie Guerrero counter.
00:52:35Shot to the midsection.
00:52:37Wow.
00:52:38What a suplex.
00:52:39Here's the spin of the hips of Eddie Guerrero to get that momentum up.
00:52:43Here's another one.
00:52:43This is what he wanted to try.
00:52:46To Benjamin.
00:52:47Oh, there he is.
00:52:48Guerrero.
00:52:49And Eddie Guerrero is going to go up high.
00:52:53Eddie Guerrero wants to finish off Charlie Haas.
00:52:56But Shelton Benjamin cuts him off at the pass.
00:52:58Where the hell did he come from?
00:52:59He's so quick, this Benjamin.
00:53:01And Eddie Guerrero is in trouble.
00:53:03Eddie Guerrero is in all kinds of trouble.
00:53:05Hop real superplex.
00:53:08And Tajiri back into the ring to come to his partner's aid.
00:53:11I believe Guerrero and Haas are the legal men.
00:53:15Elbow.
00:53:15Elbow connects from Tajiri.
00:53:20Baseball slide, nobody home.
00:53:22Benjamin clothesline.
00:53:23Both men knocked down outside the ring.
00:53:25Both men inside the ring are down.
00:53:27The WWE Tag Team Titles hang in the balance.
00:53:32Charlie Haas hoping to take advantage.
00:53:34Rolling Eddie Guerrero over.
00:53:36He's got his head rolling.
00:53:37The cover.
00:53:38Hunch of the left.
00:53:38Eddie Guerrero just barely got to go.
00:53:41The heart of a champion in Eddie Guerrero.
00:53:46A lot of intestinal fortitude to kick out there.
00:53:50Nice counter by Guerrero.
00:53:53Haas trying to battle out with the elbow.
00:53:55Oh, what a tilt-a-wurling of that backbreaker.
00:53:57Here's the hook of the leg.
00:53:58There's two.
00:53:59And Benjamin, quick as a cat, brings up the three count.
00:54:02This is an unbelievable match.
00:54:04Shelton Benjamin came from out of nowhere.
00:54:07And Eddie tossed over the top rope.
00:54:08Oh, you could twist an ankle up right there.
00:54:10Look at that kick.
00:54:11And Tajiri now with the kicks to the rims.
00:54:13Charlie Haas on top of Tajiri as well.
00:54:15Here's the double team again.
00:54:17This is bad for Tajiri and Eddie Guerrero.
00:54:19Eddie Guerrero's on the outside hurting from that backdrop over the top rope.
00:54:22And his partner Tajiri has to survive again.
00:54:25Shot to the face.
00:54:26Right on the fucking man.
00:54:28And Charlie Haas on top of Tajiri ripped into the corner.
00:54:32Look at this.
00:54:33Tarantula.
00:54:36The Tarantula is locked in.
00:54:38Eddie Guerrero going to the top rope.
00:54:40For a splash.
00:54:42Over to Tarantula.
00:54:43Nobody home.
00:54:44Benjamin rolled out of the way.
00:54:45Perhaps the hesitation to pop over to Tarantula may have cost Guerrero.
00:54:50You're right.
00:54:50Good point.
00:54:51It changes Eddie Guerrero's.
00:54:52And Tajiri bounces off the hood of the lowrider.
00:54:56What a kick right there by Shelton Beckham.
00:54:58But what an impact when Tajiri hit that truck.
00:55:00No doubt about it.
00:55:01Right off the hood of that truck.
00:55:02Referee going to check on Tajiri.
00:55:06Eddie Guerrero.
00:55:07Well, the match is still going on, though.
00:55:10Drop toe hold into that second turnbuckle.
00:55:13I don't know if Eddie got all of that, but...
00:55:16Look at Eddie.
00:55:17Eddie concerned of Tajiri.
00:55:20Eddie Guerrero upset.
00:55:21His partner could be really hurt.
00:55:22Charlie Haas.
00:55:23We're going to take advantage.
00:55:24Check this out.
00:55:25Kick to the midsection.
00:55:26Into the cover.
00:55:27Shoulders are down.
00:55:28Shoulders are down.
00:55:29Referee is outside the ring.
00:55:31Hefner back into the ring.
00:55:32It's over.
00:55:34Benjamin and Haas have won the titles.
00:55:36New champions.
00:55:37Here are the winners and the new tag team champions.
00:55:43Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin.
00:55:46Eddie Guerrero concerned over the fact that Tajiri almost went through the hood of that truck.
00:55:51The concern for his partner cost Guerrero this matchup.
00:55:55Guerrero and Tajiri lose to Benjamin and Haas, who are the new tag team champions.
00:55:59Big moment right here for Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin right here on SmackDown.
00:56:06New tag team champions.
00:56:08Benjamin and Haas climbed the mountain again.
00:56:10And they did it without Kurt Angle.
00:56:12And they did it without Kurt Angle.
00:56:14And they did it without Kurt Angle.
00:56:16Zach, you've got one leg already gone.
00:56:32It means you've got one leg left.
00:56:48Moments ago, Shelton Benjamin, Charlie Haas winning the tag team titles from Eddie Guerrero and Tajiri.
00:56:53It began with Tajiri with that horrific kick by Shelton Benjamin off the hood of that lowrider.
00:57:00And now, oh, the kick.
00:57:02The cover, new tag team champions.
00:57:04Hold down about Eddie Guerrero, just distracted.
00:57:07Just took a couple of seconds, that distraction.
00:57:09Haas and Benjamin capitalized and captured the tag team titles right here on SmackDown without the help of Kurt Angle.
00:57:17Well, he hit the nail on the head.
00:57:18Eddie Guerrero distracted after Tajiri almost went through the lowrider.
00:57:22And back now here in Guerrero.
00:57:28Obviously worried about the welfare of his partner Tajiri.
00:57:30Jerry landed hard on that thing.
00:57:36I mean, he's been, gotta get some help or something for this guy.
00:57:39What's that all about?
00:57:53My car!
00:57:54My car?
00:57:55What the hell is that?
00:57:56Like, what is he talking about?
00:57:58Well, we'll get back to this story in a moment.
00:57:59But earlier tonight, Mr. McMahon claimed he had evidence to seal the fate of Mr. America, the superstar who made his debut on SmackDown on May 1st.
00:58:08Excuse me, Stephanie, I don't mean to interrupt, but who is Mr. America?
00:58:14Well, the truth is, I don't know.
00:58:16See, I signed Mr. America sight unseen.
00:58:20What the hell?
00:58:23It's Mr. America!
00:58:25Well, he gotta be simple, somebody!
00:58:27You think?
00:58:28I am not Hulk Hogan, brother.
00:58:32I am Mr. America!
00:58:35You've breached your contract, brother Hulk Hogan.
00:58:40Mr. America can't be fired, can't be suspended, so I'm here to stay.
00:58:46Mr. America, are you Hulk Hogan?
00:58:51No.
00:58:52What's this mean?
00:58:53That Mr. America has passed this lie detector test.
00:58:56I am freedom, I am justice, and I am liberty for all.
00:59:01I am Mr. America!
00:59:06But earlier tonight, Taz, Mr. McMahon told us that he's going to have some huge announcement that will seal the fate of Mr. America.
00:59:13Well, I've been thinking about this.
00:59:15This is what I think it is.
00:59:17Yes, Mr. America and Hulk Hogan are in trouble.
00:59:21But, Taz, look at Eddie Guerrero growing angrier by the second.
00:59:28And he was saying something about his car moments ago.
00:59:31Meanwhile, his tag team partner, Tajiri, is laying on the floor behind Eddie.
00:59:37Eddie could care less.
00:59:38What he cares about is his ride.
00:59:40That's not...
00:59:40I don't get it.
00:59:43Hey, just get a buffing machine.
00:59:45You can buff out the, you know, the sweat on there and stuff, won't you?
00:59:57Oh, what the hell?
00:59:58What is going on?
01:00:00Eddie Guerrero, that's his friend.
01:00:01That's his partner.
01:00:03Eddie Guerrero beat the hell out of his partner, his friend Tajiri.
01:00:07What the hell is?
01:00:08Oh, because Tajiri landed on the damn car?
01:00:12Apparently, Cole.
01:00:13I mean, they did lose the tag team titles to boot.
01:00:16What the hell is this?
01:00:18Wait a minute.
01:00:19I don't know.
01:00:19My God.
01:00:20My God.
01:00:30What the hell did Eddie do that for?
01:00:34No, sorry, Laleigh, come on.
01:00:36Well.
01:00:39That's not the Eddie Guerrero I know.
01:00:42Well, they don't call him all Latino heat for nothing.
01:00:44Moments ago, Eddie Guerrero just snapped.
01:00:57This is his friend, his partner Tajiri, Guerrero, just driving him like a javelin through the
01:01:03windshield of that lowrider.
01:01:05Eddie Guerrero snapped out here.
01:01:06This is a little too much here.
01:01:07I mean, it's just a truck.
01:01:09I mean, that's his partner.
01:01:11That's the former tag team champs.
01:01:12Just watch this.
01:01:14Watch the windshield shatter here.
01:01:15Listen to this.
01:01:18I mean, I guess the frustration of losing the tag team titles got to Eddie tonight.
01:01:22The fact that Tajiri almost went through the hood of the truck, but totally uncalled for
01:01:26here.
01:01:26And this during the break, the EMTs attending to Tajiri a serious situation.
01:01:31Well, we just hope Tajiri send off best and hopefully he's going to be okay.
01:01:36I just want to know what the hell happened to Eddie Guerrero.
01:01:39I don't know.
01:01:39I mean, Eddie's neck, I can hear his neck, he's got a brace on it.
01:01:44That always worries me.
01:01:45Orlando Jordan's in the ring.
01:01:47The rookie's set for action.
01:01:48Big pep talk earlier tonight from The Undertaker.
01:01:51But Orlando Jordan has his hands full.
01:01:54Right there.
01:01:55The following contest is scheduled for a football approaching the ring for Boston Mads.
01:02:07Weighing in a 360-pound A-Train.
01:02:12The A-Train in Orlando Jordan.
01:02:14Orlando Jordan last week had his SmackDown debut.
01:02:17A valiant effort versus John Cena.
01:02:20But a pat on the back by The Undertaker to boot.
01:02:24Orlando Jordan, the rookie, against the veteran A-Train.
01:02:28And whoa!
01:02:29There's the power of the A-Train.
01:02:31The size of A-Train.
01:02:32Oh, and the A-Train.
01:02:33There's the speed of Orlando Jordan.
01:02:35Drop kick to the big 350-pound A-Train.
01:02:37Nice drop.
01:02:38Toehole, but the big man wouldn't go down.
01:02:40And the right hand's from A-Train to Orlando Jordan.
01:02:44I've been in a ring with A-Train.
01:02:45It's tough to get out of this guy's way.
01:02:47It's tough to get this master down.
01:02:49What a shoulder that day.
01:02:51A-Train never has a problem getting his opponent down because of that massive power.
01:02:54Yeah, the former college football lineman, the A-Train.
01:02:58And Orlando Jordan lifted up with ease.
01:03:01A-Train off the ropes.
01:03:02Look out.
01:03:02Jordan's in trouble.
01:03:03There's the big splash.
01:03:04Here's the cover.
01:03:05Could be short night for A-Train, though.
01:03:07Orlando Jordan just gets the shoulder up.
01:03:09A-Train rubbing that forearm right across the face of Orlando right there.
01:03:15A-Train, no doubt, ain't got a problem being vicious in there.
01:03:18Well, Orlando Jordan is a...
01:03:19Watch this.
01:03:20Watch this.
01:03:20Oh, look out.
01:03:21The Capitan.
01:03:22Oh, wow.
01:03:23Jordan hung up on the second rope.
01:03:25Welcome to the WWE, kid.
01:03:26Orlando Jordan trained by The Rock's father, Rocky Johnson, but I don't know if Rocky Johnson
01:03:31taught him about that.
01:03:33Big right hand by the A-Train.
01:03:34Tough to defend that.
01:03:35A-Train wearing down.
01:03:36Orlando Jordan had hit him with that vicious decapitator.
01:03:40Now, what's this?
01:03:41Boom!
01:03:41Oh!
01:03:42Driving shot to the kidney.
01:03:43Working on the lower back, the kidney region.
01:03:46Oh, look at that.
01:03:46A-Train into the corner.
01:03:51Tell you, it's going to be a wild Fourth of July weekend, Saturday in Frederick, Maryland,
01:03:55Sunday, Ocean City, Maryland, Monday, and Cleveland, the SmackDown Superstars coming
01:03:59your way this weekend.
01:04:00And look at the A-Train with a big elbow to Orlando Jordan.
01:04:04That's an experience a little overzealous right there.
01:04:06Orlando Jordan running into that massive tree-like back elbow of A-Train.
01:04:12Still want to know what the hell's going through Eddie Guerrero's head.
01:04:14What a sickening display moments ago.
01:04:16Yeah, it was.
01:04:17Causing his friend through the windshield of that truck.
01:04:19Well, the best.
01:04:20We've seen A-Train do this in the past.
01:04:22I don't know what A-Train calls it.
01:04:23It's like an inverted full Nelson of sorts.
01:04:27Both those arms just bent behind your body.
01:04:31You can see Orlando Jordan just writhing in pain.
01:04:33I'll tell you what.
01:04:34You cannot apply that move unless you're that tall and that powerful.
01:04:39A-Train clasping his own fingers and bending his opponent's deltoids in half.
01:04:43How much more can this rookie take?
01:04:46A-Train is just, man.
01:04:47A-Train just holding this kid with ease.
01:04:49Locked in.
01:04:50How the hell do you get out of something like this?
01:04:51The rookie somehow breaks the hold.
01:04:53A-Train's shoulders are down.
01:04:55And he just kicked out.
01:04:56Very nice.
01:04:57Very nice to get A-Train in a pending predicament there.
01:05:00But the damage may have been done.
01:05:02A-Train with a clubbing blows to the back of Orlando Jordan.
01:05:06A-Train just stays on Jordan.
01:05:07Stays on him.
01:05:08Oh, A-Train missed for that bicycle kick and got hung up on the top rope.
01:05:11And this could be the opening for the rookie Orlando Jordan.
01:05:14Well, that kid's knotting up the hamstring right there of the A-Train.
01:05:17And this kid, an amateur boxer since he was nine years old.
01:05:21Who's in the left and right.
01:05:22There's the Insegurian to the back of the head of the A-Train.
01:05:25A-Train might be out on his feet from that Insegurian.
01:05:27He's got some quick hands, this kid.
01:05:30And A-Train tossing Orlando Jordan off the rope.
01:05:32But Orlando Jordan flies through the air.
01:05:33Here's the cover by the rookie.
01:05:35Hook of the leg.
01:05:35And A-Train kicks out.
01:05:36Big flying forearm by Orlando Jordan knocking the massive A-Train off his feet.
01:05:42And Orlando Jordan into the corner, up over the top of A-Train.
01:05:45And, uh-oh, A-Train again a shot to the kidney.
01:05:49Back to the kidney, the lower back.
01:05:50And Jordan is just being, oh, look out.
01:05:55Here he comes.
01:05:56The derailleur connects.
01:05:58Lights out.
01:05:59Shoulders down.
01:06:00Good match by the kid.
01:06:01And Orlando Jordan popped his shoulder up.
01:06:04Can you believe Jordan got kicked out of the derailleur?
01:06:07A lot of toughness by Orlando Jordan right there.
01:06:10A-Train thinking that might have been three.
01:06:14It was close.
01:06:15Undertaker's talk, man.
01:06:16It had some effect on Orlando Jordan.
01:06:18Showing a lot of heart here tonight.
01:06:20You want to get respect, you've got to earn it in that square circle.
01:06:22Don't hold A-Train, that mammoth head off that second turnbuckle.
01:06:27And Orlando Jordan, the kid looking to fly high, up to the top rope.
01:06:31A-Train's in trouble.
01:06:32Might be a mistake going to the tower.
01:06:33Oh, and it was a mistake.
01:06:35Swatted away like a fly.
01:06:37And A-Train looks to take advantage here.
01:06:40And A-Train will.
01:06:41A-Train will.
01:06:42Look at his tower.
01:06:44The train wreck.
01:06:45The lower back worked out all match.
01:06:47And it pays dividends.
01:06:52Here is your winner, A-Train.
01:06:56Orlando Jordan, I hope, learned something this match.
01:06:59Timing's everything.
01:07:00Went to the top rope at the wrong time.
01:07:02A-Train capitalized.
01:07:03But what heart by the kid.
01:07:04He kicked out of the derailleur tonight.
01:07:06Absolutely.
01:07:06As A-Train picks up the win.
01:07:13Oh, mama.
01:07:16Good going.
01:07:18Where's your little tag team partner?
01:07:19Your little one-legged protector.
01:07:24You know, Stephanie?
01:07:26I really hope you know what you're doing.
01:07:28I hope you don't get hurt out there.
01:07:31You know?
01:07:36There's so many other ways I'd like to hurt you.
01:07:45Hey, Steph.
01:07:46Oh, uh, show, I'd like to remind you, uh, that is my daughter you're gonna be in the ring with tonight.
01:07:55You may want to listen up, by the way, to the announcement I'm about to make out in the ring.
01:07:59It concerns you.
01:08:01And the announcement I'm about to make also concerns one, uh, Mr. America.
01:08:05And now, Wrestlemania Recall.
01:08:15Coming towards the ring, and accompanied by Alice Cooper, Jake the Snake Roberts.
01:08:35Uh-oh.
01:08:36Got it right in the corner.
01:08:37Oh, look at that.
01:08:38Look at her.
01:08:39Give me a break.
01:08:39That's gotta be a disqualification.
01:08:43He's holding on the ropes.
01:08:45Three, he got it.
01:08:46He got it.
01:08:46The hockey talk wins it.
01:08:48And Alice Cooper is inside.
01:08:51Oh, and look at this.
01:08:53Caught from behind.
01:08:54Jimmy Hart would have taken him.
01:08:56Oh, we're gonna see Damian.
01:08:58Oh, I can't believe this.
01:09:00Look at that.
01:09:0115 to 18 foot of python.
01:09:04And them all to the south.
01:09:06About to be the recipient.
01:09:09Escape.
01:09:10No.
01:09:11Damian got him.
01:09:12Look at him.
01:09:13Running for their lives.
01:09:15Wow.
01:09:16Talk about excitement.
01:09:19Wrestlemania Recall.
01:09:20Counting down to the greatest sports entertainment spectacular of all time.
01:09:24Wrestlemania 20.
01:09:30What surprises are in store for us next year, Wrestlemania 20, and that is in Square Garden.
01:09:41Ladies and gentlemen, the chairman of WWE, Mr. McMahon.
01:09:47And the lovely Sable.
01:09:49And I'll tell you, Mr. McMahon, if he has his way, when SmackDown heads to Toronto next week,
01:09:55Zach Galwin will not be in the old Canada Center.
01:10:01Toronto, Cole.
01:10:02SmackDown in Toronto.
01:10:03You love Toronto.
01:10:04You're being awesome.
01:10:05Yeah, I love Toronto.
01:10:06Don't like Maple Leafs, however.
01:10:08Officer to people in Toronto to give you a great reaction when you walk out to my music.
01:10:13Nonetheless, Mr. McMahon with a lot on his mind here tonight.
01:10:16Said he's gonna seal the fate of Mr. American.
01:10:19Also said he's got something announced concerning the big show.
01:10:23Wow.
01:10:24Look at Sam Sable.
01:10:25Sam Sable is, she's hot in a, she's hot in a, she's just hot.
01:10:30I can't give her the analogy, she's just hot.
01:10:36Well, how do you like, how do you like my daughter's assistant Sable?
01:10:40Hot.
01:10:42You know, it was just a matter of time before I sealed the fate of Mr. America.
01:10:53Just a matter of time.
01:10:54All this started, if you will recall, right after WrestleMania, when I sent Hogan home to
01:11:01rot.
01:11:03That's right.
01:11:04I never again wanted Hogan to ever perform in a WWE ring.
01:11:09I wanted to deny him of that privilege.
01:11:12I wanted to deny all of the Hulkamaniacs that privilege.
01:11:19And I did.
01:11:20And by the way, I paid him to stay at home.
01:11:25So what's wrong with Hogan?
01:11:27Most of you would take a paycheck and stay at home, but not Hogan.
01:11:31Oh no.
01:11:32You see, Hogan has to come out and reinvent himself all over again.
01:11:38Hogan has to create this new character, this Mr. America crap.
01:11:46That's okay.
01:11:48Because again, it was just a matter of time when I proved, as we all knew all along, that
01:11:53Mr. America really was Hulk Hogan.
01:11:56And once I proved that, both Mr. America's contract and Hulk Hogan's contract would be
01:12:03null and void.
01:12:08So that would bring me to last week's SmackDown.
01:12:14Knowing Mr. America was going to be there in Madison Square Garden.
01:12:18Knowing he was going to want to do something very special for the audience.
01:12:22And he did.
01:12:23He didn't disappoint.
01:12:24And neither did I.
01:12:26You see, because I thought Mr. America might be up to something.
01:12:30So I took care of the cameraman, all the technicians.
01:12:34I said, after we go off the air, keep recording.
01:12:38Keep rolling your cameras.
01:12:41That's exactly what happened.
01:12:44So now I'm going to show you footage that's never, ever been seen before.
01:12:49This is after SmackDown was over last week in Madison Square Garden.
01:12:56Take a look at this.
01:12:57Now it makes life.
01:13:02I am a real American.
01:13:05Fight for love, my son, everything.
01:13:07I am a real American.
01:13:07Fight for love, my son, everything.
01:13:08Wow.
01:13:09I am a real American.
01:13:11Wow.
01:13:12Fight for love, my son, fight for love, my son.
01:13:17A proverbial smoking gun, wouldn't you say?
01:13:19You ain't kidding.
01:13:20busted
01:13:25I'd like to thank those cameramen
01:13:32who recorded that footage for me because
01:13:37quite frankly, Hulk Hogan and Mr. America
01:13:41well, they're just not here tonight
01:13:43Hogan's not here tonight
01:13:50Mr. America's not here tonight
01:13:53you know why? because they're at home
01:13:56and they're going to stay at home
01:13:59as a matter of fact, Mr. America and Hulk Hogan
01:14:01they're in the same place at the same time as we speak
01:14:05and they'll be at the same time
01:14:08in the same place tomorrow morning
01:14:10in the unemployment line
01:14:12I've been wanting to say this for a long time, Sable
01:14:21Mr. America, Hulk Hogan, read my lips
01:14:26you're fire
